Sometimes I take pani puri crust and crush them on top of this dish. Other times, I use chotpoti as a filling for pani puri instead of mashed potatoes.

3. Lassi

I have no idea what this is made of to be honest but my goodness! It tastes delicious.

I had lost my appetite the last time I visited my country but somehow this was the only thing I could not stop drinking.

4. Chitoi Pitha with spicy bharta (mashed goodies)

I don't know what this one is called in English. Perhaps milk chitoi, or steamed rice.

This one is also another Bengali snack. The mashed goodies, which is the green "sauce" in the picture, is spicy. They also make a different type of sauce which looks red. That one is even more spicy and that's my favorite one.

5. Rasgulla

They are so soft! When you grab it with your fingers, they literally dab down and when you put it in your mouth....mmmh..no words!

They are sweets but not really sweet in taste compared to other South Asian sweets.

Sadly, there are so many types of rasgullas. So pick carefully. They don't all taste the same.
